Thanks Goldy would love some credit. Not saying bluds didnt recruit. They wouldnt have been successfull without them. they were spending approx . 30 large every year not a heap compared to mannum, meningie and even tailem during that era. But the reason they were successfull was because they had a group of recruits who were tight and wanted to play together, even though they were offered more elsewhere. That is why Imps are up high on the ladder now not because of super coach Fielke. That is also why Meningie were good during the era of Mansell , Martin, moller, Baggs, white. Because they were tight before they went there and wanted to succeed with each other. IT also makes travelling to training etc. easier if you can car pull. Tailem had the same thing when they had all the bay boys going up together. The trouble is when a couple leave they can all leave. I reckon even you Goldberg could have coached Imps to at least two flags with the list they have had over Fielkes era.
